Isaelie <Empire> -- story of a new player in empre.
 

Thanks to Jeni's profound work on breaking down <empire>'s loot distribution he has shown a great example of a new player joining the server and been allowed to gear up, and also participate in PvP (he and Grissle were the main reason we wrecked <friends> in IC a week ago, one of the few even number fights friends have allowed themselves to be in ( so far 2-0 to empire) ).

Isaelie was a nub enchanter literally a week or two before velly hit; participating in <empire> pick up raids in Plane of Hate. I've personally noticed alot of people usually play hard for 2-3 months when they join the server then drop off the radar ( the player cycle? ) but figured this guy was gunna stick around so passed up my winning roll on a Insidious Halo hoping it'd spike his interest in staying.

fast forward 2 months later:

Proof that you can be a new player and make it in the rough world that is Red99.

Good shit brother glad 2 see you rise.

yikes wrong forum, can you plz move to PvP RNF - I fugged up.

Thanks man :) it has been a blast. Best guild I have ever been a part of in EQ since i started in the summer of 99. I've been having the time of my life. Long live the Empire!

I've been on the server 6 months. I'm the best geared rogue on the server, the only people that are comparable are in empire, everyone else has like 1000 less hp, no 9th ring, doesnt have 1150ac or a primal. Thanks empire for rewarding a guy who plays, doesn't complain about lewt or start drama, and is a general pal.

If you are a rogue, maybe in the 50's and are looking for a new guild, we could use some new rogue croots!

a few pvp battles too ;)

Are you recruiting?

<friends> had 16 @ 3am for vs -- pve does sound amazing

Was that the fight where we whiped and you zoned in only to get wrecked?? You came online 5 min after the pvp was over?
